Start by writing four and two fifths as an improper fraction:
4 2/5 = 22/5
Subtract, and then write the answer as a mixed number: 22/5 − 35 = 22 − 3/5 = 19/5 = 3
4/5 - correct answer. 4 2/5 − 3/5 =
A. 3 4/5
,B. 1 1/5
C. 3 1/5
D. 2 1/5
E. None of these
The denominator of each fraction is 5. Since the
denominators are the same, just subtract the numerators:
4/5 − 1/5 = 4 − 1 /5 = 3/5 - correct answer. 4/5 − 1/5 =
A. 3/5
B. 1
C. 4
D. 1/5
E. None of these
The number 4 can be written as 4/1, which has
the same value as 12/3:
4 − 1/3 = 12/3 − 1/3 = 11/3 = 3 2/3. - correct answer. 4 − 1/3 =
A. 3 2/3
B. 1/3
C. 3
D. 2/3
, E. None of these
Use long division: 5 goes into 661 132 times, with a remainder of 1.Use long division: 5
goes into 661 132 times, with a remainder of 1. - correct answer. 5 /661 =
A. 130; R5
B. 132; R1
C. 132; R2
D. 130; R3
E. None of these
The three fractions have a common denominator
of 5. Just add the numerators.
1/5 + 1/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 1 + 2/5 = 4/5
This is not one of the answer choices: None of these - correct answer. 1/5 + 1/5 + 2/5
=
A. 4/15
B. 3/5
C. 1/5
D. 2/5
E. None of these
